When Lord Albert Edward was born his older brother, Lord Anthony Christopher ran into where his mother laid in her bed holding his new little brother, and Lord Anthony ran to his mother and asked "Is it my little brother mama."
Lady Karissa looks at her five year old son, "Yes my dear Lord Anthony it is your little brother, Lord Albert Edward and he smiles and he starts to march around the room along with Lord David William II, Lord Richard Edward III, Lord Charles Andrew Howard IV and Lord David Frederick Howard.
Lady Elizabeth age ten does the same thing with Lady Samhain, Lady Autumn Bridget , Lady Charlotte Victoria Maud, Lady Caroline Matilda, Lady Edwina Wilhelmina Beck and still the girls outnumber the boys and Lord Andrew Charles looks at Lady Elizabeth and tells her " Stop this Lady Elizabeth."
'I will never stop it. It is a crusade I must take on." Lady Elizabeth tells father, " I am your heiress and you can do nothing about it."
"If I wanted to, I couldn't do it with your damn grandfather and your mother." Lord Andrew Charles states.
"The Dukedom is my legacy and my inheritance passed onto me by my great-grandfather." Lady Elizabeth tells her father.
Lady Elizabeth looks at her father " Why don't you take your miserable sons and leave Beltane Manor. Leave my mother and sisters alone." Lady Elizabeth asks her father.
"I don't think that is your decision to make Lady Elizabeth." Lord Andrew Charles tells Lady Elizabeth.
"I wish someone would poison all your sons and you. " Lady Elizabeth tells her father.
Lady Karissa calls Lady Elizabeth over to her and tells her " Now you don't mean that Lady Elizabeth. I wouldn't cry if someone would poison your father, but not your brothers."
"Why don't you divorce him mama?" Lady Elizabeth asks.
"It is not that easy, Lady Elizabeth. Your father and I still have one more child to go." Lady Karissa explains.
"I don't love my father. " Lady Elizabeth tells her mother "but I love my grandfather and third cousins and second cousins, first cousins and uncles."
'No one can make you love anyone, Lady Elizabeth." Lady Karissa explains, "either you or you don't."
Lord Andrew Charles looks at his eldest daughter and he loves her with all his heart and he walks over to her and he kneels down and tells her " I love you, Lady Elizabeth. You are my first-born child and you came with a great price on your head."
"Do you know if you hadn't been a girl that your mother would have never married me at all." Lord Andrew Charles asks her.
"My mother had good sense." Lady Elizabeth tells him " You have two sons now, father and that should make you very happy but I don't why."
"Mother, When I marry I just want daughters." Lady Elizabeth tells her mother.
"Oh really, Lady Elizabeth. I do believe you will have daughters but also sons." Lady Karissa tells her.
